Tech/Engineering
French term or phrase: prise de connaissance
'Les personnes habilitées à effectuer des opérations métrologiques possèdent une fiche individuelle de « Prise de connaissance des Modes Opératoires XX'

and:

'La prise de connaissance de chaque mode opératoire est valable X ans'...

It looks to me (in this context) like 'prise de connaissance' refers to an actual 'qualification' - alhtough it sounds more informal, like 'training', 'experience' etc. ..... would be grateful for some examples of the use of this phrase...

basic information about...


Explanation:
We say : ÇÊj'ai pris connaissance de...ÊÈ, meaning I have read, or even ÇÊj'ai eu connaissance de cet Žtat de fait...È meaning I heard or was informed of this state of affairs.

In your context, however, it may well mean a deeper understanding as there is a record which may pinpoint the extent and the areas of knowledge. It could be rendered with "basic training".

Personally, I would ask the client as it is a specific use of a common expression.
